The sounds of killing, the sound of artillery fire, and the cries for mercy mixed together, making it very chaotic.
With a roar, a big explosion occurred on a battleship, and flames suddenly shot into the sky.
A chaotic battle lasted for most of the night. When light gradually appeared on the horizon, the harbor gradually calmed down.
There is a faint light on the horizon, but the sky is getting brighter. After fighting for most of the night, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not show any signs of fatigue. Although their eyes were a little red, their spirits were extremely high. Needless to say, it was because these soldiers stood up immediately.
For those who have made great achievements in battle, the emperor will definitely reward them generously, and everyone will naturally be inspired by it.
On the opposite side were the soldiers of the Portuguese and Dutch coalition forces. These soldiers had spent most of the night in chaos and panic, but now they felt relieved as prisoners.
Earl Harry was tied up in an extremely embarrassed manner. He did not have the demeanor of a dignified earl at all. He was as embarrassed as he could be.
Fortunately, Dong Ke knew that Earl Harry was the leader of the coalition forces, so although Earl Harry was a little embarrassed, at least he was not mistreated.
The second day
The port has returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Dong Ke and Yu Dayou are now accompanying Yue Buqun to interrogate Earl Harry, Governor George and some high-ranking officers in the coalition forces.
When the torture instruments used by the Imperial Guards to deal with the prisoners were placed one by one in front of Governor George, Earl Harry and others, they did not need to be executed. They just demonstrated the cruel punishments in front of them.
, both Earl Harry and Governor George chose to cooperate very wisely. It can be said that whatever Yue Buqun asked, they answered.
The cooperation of Earl Harry and others allowed Yue Buqun and others to easily obtain a lot of information, including the origins of Earl Harry and others as well as information about many Southeast Asian countries.
In the Ming Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years since Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, went to the Western Ocean. Except for private merchant ships, there are almost no official forces involved overseas.
This also makes the Ming Dynasty's understanding of overseas affairs still stay in the era when the Sanbao eunuchs went to the West. Even when Chu Yi opened the sea, a large number of merchants walked on the sea and brought back a lot of overseas news, but for some secret news,
Those businessmen alone are still out of reach.
Many countries in Southeast Asia have fallen under the control of maritime powers such as Portugal, the Netherlands, and Spain. Even if some countries have not been destroyed, they have become colonies of Portugal and the Netherlands.
This information is obviously not something that some businessmen can know, but Governor George and Earl Harry are definitely the highest rulers of Portugal and the Netherlands in Southeast Asia, so they are very clear about the situation in Southeast Asia.
After a full day of interrogation, the information that Governor George and Earl Harry knew was almost exhausted, and then Governor George and others were let go.
Looking at the thick confessions, even from Yue Buqun's perspective, these confessions are of great value.
After looking at Yu Dayou, Dong Ke and several generals, Yue Buqun patted the confessions and said with a serious expression: "Guys, this information is of great importance and must be sent back to the capital as soon as possible, but Yue Mou wants to say goodbye to you guys.
Already."
Yu Dayou smiled and said: "Master Yue, just go ahead. Yu will then escort these prisoners to Beijing."
The capital remains as prosperous as ever and has not been affected at all by the invasion of Tianjin Port.
Even if there are thousands of alien races occupying Tianjin Port, no one would think that the opponent can reach the capital. Even if they really reach the capital, can they still break through the elite army garrisoned by nearly 100,000 people?
The capital?
The hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops hit a wall in the capital, not to mention only a few thousand foreigners.
After Yang Yiqing sent reinforcements, several ministers in the cabinet no longer took it to heart, but diverted their attention to other government affairs.
Almost on the third day after the reinforcements were sent out, Yue Buqun rushed back to the capital from Tianjin Port.
The first time he entered the capital, Yue Buqun did not return to Jin Yiwei. Instead, he divided the information from the interrogation into three parts, one part was sent to the cabinet, one part was sent to the palace, and one part was sent to Prince Wu's Mansion.
In Prince Wu's Mansion, Chu Yi was sitting there, sipping tea leisurely, and in front of him, a delicate doll was staring at Chu Yi with an angry look.
The little guy clearly looked angry, but he stood there without daring to move. It was obvious that this little guy was very afraid of Chu Yi.
If people see this, they will definitely be very surprised. This little guy is the Longzi of the Tian family, the only eldest son of the current emperor, Zhu Zaiji.
If nothing else happens, this little guy will be the future emperor of tomorrow. It seems that he is being punished by Chu Yi right now.
The little guy stared at Chu Yi and gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Unfortunately, he only dared to do this. If he really wanted to come forward and cause trouble for Chu Yi, he really didn't have the courage.
Chu Yi raised his head and glanced at the little guy. Suddenly, the little guy seemed to be frightened and quickly lowered his head, trying hard to squeeze out a smile on his face.
Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh. This little guy is really cute. He is worthy of being of Tian family blood. If it were anyone else, in front of him, he would have been so frightened that he would not even dare to breathe. This little guy was
After being taught a few lessons, I still have this stubbornness, which is quite difficult.
From this point alone, we can see that this young prince has a tough temperament, and more importantly, he is not a coward. If he is trained properly, he will definitely be a tough king in the future.
A ruler appeared in Chu Yi's hand, and Chu Yi was heard saying to Zhu Zaiji: "Ji'er, recite the Thousand-Character Essay for Taifu."
When Zhu Zaiji saw this, especially when he saw the ruler in Chu Yi's hand, he subconsciously hid his little hand behind his back, blinked with a pair of smart eyes, and said in a loud voice: "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is primitive..."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and looked calmly at Zhu Zaiji who was reciting the Thousand-Character Essay. When Zhu Zaiji finished reciting, Chu Yi just looked at Zhu Zaiji. The little guy stood there, looking at Chu Yi with tears in his eyes, trying hard to hide his little hands.
Behind him, he said pitifully: "Master, Ji'er... Ji'er forgot..."
It turned out that Zhu Zaiji failed to recite a few passages when he recited the Thousand Character Essay, and now he looked pitiful and begged Chu Yi for mercy.
Chu Yi picked up the ruler, and Zhu Zaiji subconsciously took a step back, curled his lips and subconsciously cried into the distance: "Mother, save me, mother, save me, the master is going to beat Ji'er to death..."
Looking at Zhu Zaiji who looked like he was going to be beaten to death, Chu Yi couldn't help but have black lines appear on his forehead. Why didn't he see that this little guy actually had such a side?
Not far away, there was a figure in gorgeous clothes, with several palace maids waiting beside him. Looking at a villain like Zhu Zaiji from a distance, standing timidly in front of Chu Yi, one of the palace maids couldn't help but said to the figure: "Your Majesty.
,Chu Yi, how could he do this, the little prince..."
It turned out that this person was the current queen. The queen also looked at Zhu Zaiji in the distance with distress. But when she heard the words of the maid next to her, the queen suddenly looked solemn and stared at the maid and said:
"How can King Wu be something that you, a slave, can say anything about? King Wu is the prince's tutor, so he naturally has the right to teach, not to mention this palace. Even if His Majesty is here, what King Wu should do will still happen."
Then the queen said to the maid: "I slap you twenty times. If you do it again in the future, I will kill you without mercy."
The palace maid was so frightened that she lay on the ground and smacked her hands.
The movements in the pavilion could not be concealed from Chu Yi, who was a master of nature. However, Chu Yi had no interest in paying attention to the movements in the queen's side.
bang bang bang
Chu Yi hit Zhu Zaiji's palm twice, which made the little guy burst into tears.
His chubby little hands were slightly red. Zhu Zaiji wanted to run away, but he didn't dare.
Chu Yi had always been strict, but compared to Yang Yiqing's teachings, Chu Yi naturally hit him when he needed to be beaten and scolded when he needed to be scolded. He did not regard Zhu Zaiji as a prince at all.
Therefore, it can be said that the little prince is not afraid of heaven or earth in the palace, but he is only afraid of Chu Yi.
After taking the classics in front of him, Chu Yi started to read them again, while Zhu Zaiji stood there with a drooped face and silently recited the contents of the Thousand-Character Classic.
There was a sound of footsteps, Chu Yi turned over a page, and then slowly raised his head and looked at the visitor.
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows when he saw the person coming. It was none other than Yue Buqun.
Naturally, he did not need to deliver the confessions to the cabinet and the palace in person, but Yue Buqun personally delivered the confessions to Prince Wu's palace.
Yue Buqun prostrated himself in front of Chu Yi and said: "My subordinate, Yue Buqun, pays homage to your lord."
Chu Yi put down the classics, flicked his hand lightly, and an invisible force suddenly held Yue Buqun up. He glanced at Yue Buqun and said calmly: "Yue Buqun, you are not easy to do business. Could it be that you got into some trouble?"
?”
Yue Buqun shook his head repeatedly and immediately presented the confessions of Governor George and others: "Your Highness, please see, these are detailed information on the invading enemies in Tianjin Port."
Chu Yi looked through the stack of papers about the division of power among maritime powers such as Portugal, the Netherlands, and Spain in the Southeast Asia, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Many old countries in Nanyang were destroyed, and new countries were born. The Ming Navy has not set foot outside the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, but it does not know the changes in Nanyang. Now with this information, at least the Ming Dynasty can have some understanding of the specific form of Nanyang today.
